Madam:
I advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a George P. Garlock, and you are herewith furnished the history of the only George Gerlach or Gerlack found on said records.
It appears that George Gerlach or Gerlack, a private of the Revolutionary Army, was pensioned on account of disability, from January 1, 1791, under the Act of June 7, 1785. In 1819 he lived about one hundred fifty miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
There are no further data of any nature as to this soldier's service and disability and no data at all as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1801 and 1814.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.

Dear Sirs:
I am trying to find a record of the date of birth and death of George P. Garloch of Canajoharie, N. Y. who I understand was in the Revolutionary War. Old family records seem to have been destroyed and I am told your bureau may be able to give these records.
If you can give me this information it will be very much appreciated. If, however, you are unable to do this and will direct me to the proper authorities I will be very grateful.
Very truly yours,

Hon. Geo. Kremer,
House of Representatives.
Sir:
I herewith return the letter which you sent to this Office in the case of Geo. Gerlack. I am sorry to inform you that it is entirely out of our power to give the information asked for in relation to his service. The books and papers of this Office have been destroyed twice by fire since he was placed on the Pension list, and all the particulars in regard to the Regiment or Corps and Company in which he served are thereby lost. We obtained lists of the names of Pensioners from the Pension Agents after the destruction of the War Office building in 1801; but we were unable to acquire any knowledge of the services of the pensioners, except in a few instances. I enclose herewith the printed instructions necessary in drawing up papers to be presented at the Pension Agencies.
The printed list of 1835, shows on the list of invalid pensioners of Columbia Co. Pa. George Gerlack Private. Revolutionary Army. Annual allowance $36. commenced Jan. 1. 1791. Act June 7. 1785 and increased to $57.60 per annum, commenced Apr. 24. 1876. Act Apr. 24. 1876.
